Prayer = Sleepy

Just in case you don’t know me too well, I should probably mention that I dont have an exceptionally great sleep pattern. Sleeping 2am till 8am is a pretty standard night, with a bad one being a few hours less… and a really bad one being basically no sleep. I’ve done this for years and it doesn’t usually bother me (although it would be nice to wake up and not feel tired one day).

So last night was my 3rd visit to my new small group* and it was a very nice chilled out night. With a special on yummy hot chocolate, it was off to a good start too 🙂 At the end of the night one of my friends prayed for me that I would start to sleep better… needless to say by the time I got home I was pretty tired. Anyway I managed a nice long 11am till 730am sleep, praise God.

Hopefully this will continue, but its also made me think about changing my lifestyle a bit, so first thing to go is the internet… after 11pm anyway… lets not go too crazy too quickly!

* Small group is essentially a very small church, a group that meet up to make sure everyone is supported within the church community. Our church has 300+ people now, so its impossible for everyone to be supported in/after one Sunday service. Plus most people don’t want to share any problems they have with 300 people!
